Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things we don't really need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with?

We are living in a world full of

colorful

having striking color

colourful

products where

advertisement

plays a pivotal role in the way we select a product to buy. While many a person argues that

advertisement

is leading us to purchase the products which are not, in fact, necessary, the opponents subscribe to the view that not only can advertisements create jobs, but it

also

paves the way for higher standards of living by introducing new products. When it comes to

this

notion I hold the latter viewpoint owing to its positive impacts on both society and individuals. A considerable body of evidence shows that an overwhelming majority of people nowadays spend a good deal of their income

on

Suggestion

for

the commodities or services they arguably did not buy if they were not under the heavy bombardment of

advertisement

. Large companies in

this

day and age are spending extravagant amounts of their financial resources to produce influential commercials to encourage ordinary people to buy their products regardless they need them or not. My mother,

for example

, bought a fruit dryer from a well-known vendor two years ago, but has not used it yet. Though

advertisement

can lead to many purchasing what they do not necessarily need, but, on the other side of the coin, it can broaden potential customers’ horizons to find new products to make life easier. Digital blood pleasure monitor was an outstanding example for me when I saw the

advertisement

on a large billboard which made me buy it for my father for his 62nd birthday. Since

then

he can monitor his blood pressure without asking others to assist him. To cut a long story short, I must confess that despite strong criticism, I opine that the benefits of

advertisement

outweigh the disadvantages if authorities in charge of commerce can monitor advertising, and introduce appropriate laws to prevent them from overacting.
